I have two sets of speakers that I would like to use as my front speakers. My receiver only has 1 front output. Is there any way I can wire both sets of front speakers using just that one output from the receiver?

    The only safe way to power them from a receiver is to wire them in series (daisychain) from the receiver to your main left or right speaker and then wire from that speaker to the second set. This will reduce power to each speaker enough to keep the receiver from frying.
